California CostumesMen's Viking Helmet

I'm the guy in the middle in the picture I shared. I had to cut one of the horns in half to make it work for my Halloween costume, which was sad to do. But, it's also part of why I chose this helmet in particular because I read that it was made of a sort of mushy material. This is true. It's not hard and it's not so soft that it looks fake. It suited my needs just fine. It stayed on my head great when I didn't add the wig, but once I added the wig it was falling off constantly. I don't think this is a fault with the helmet though. Just something to note if you're considering this for your Halloween costume too. I ended up taping it to my head/wig, which helped somewhat.

This was a great product and because of the pliable nature of the plastic it fit over a wig which is what I needed to do. Excellent value for the money it looked really cool too

Really looked good but even on my hubs far head moved a lot kind of big. A strap would help.

This item is very soft and flimsy. I hoped it would be plastic and firm. My son loved it and he said that he proffered it to be a flimsy rubber.

Super flimsy like a beanie that does not fit, they fold it like paper to ship so the horns don’t stand up. I returned this item but the company never issued the refund.

We had read in a helpful review that this helmet is somewhat large and we needed it for an adult with a large head so we knew that it would be perfect and it is. We had also read that the horns were bent, and they were, but the attached card said to use a hairdryer to fix that. We did and then stuffed the horns with poly fill to keep them stiff without adding weight. The helmet is made of a rubbery substance, so it looks like metal without being heavy, and it fits nicely. We're very pleased with this helmet.

This is a nice looking costume helmet, completely made of a rubber material. The silver finish gives it a vintage look, and there is texturing on the actual "hat" portion. The helmet arrived promptly and looked good right out of the box. The horns stand up nicely on their own. Some reviewers suggested stuffing them to additional firmness. (I tried that, and it did firm the horns up a bit -- but is not really necessary.) I did find the fit to be quite large for me. I am a 5'3" woman, and my hat size is average. Although I planned to wear the helmet with a wig, it was still a bit large, and I was concerned about it falling off if I looked down. To alleviate my concerns, I hot glued a strip of rubber window weather-stripping all the way around the inside rim of the helmet. This was a quick and easy "fix". Now the rubber weather stripping ring holds the helmet very snuggly on my head.

Hat fits well. The horns were a little flat, from being squished in packaging, but we stuffed them with some tissue paper, and will store it upright so that should resolve itself.
